Chelle cautions the Super Eagles that the 2026 WCQ Playoffs are not yet over.

Despite the Super Eagles’ significant victory over the Panthers of Gabon on Thursday night, head coach Eric Chelle has cautioned his players to maintain humility. After losing 4-1 in Rabat, the three-time African champions guaranteed a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. To qualify for the Intercontinental playoffs, the SuperEagles now need to defeat the Leopards of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Sunday. Chelle informed his teammates that they had not yet accomplished anything. “They did win against Gabon, but it doesn’t matter since they have another game in two days. In a press conference following the game, the Super Eagles coach warned, “Maybe after the second game, we can smile.” The Prince Héritier Moulay El Hassan Sports Complex in Rabat will host the match versus the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It will begin at 8:00 p.m. Nigerian time.
